Crossposting this because anti_cishet_action has been buggy lately

The idea of men being unsexy past a certain age is really disturbing. Not only does it ape a harmful part of straight culture (women hitting "the wall") but it ignores the reality of actual gay death. How many gay people, twinks included, were lost to the worst of the AIDS crisis under Reagan? How many gay people have been lost to suicide? How many more queer people have to die before people learn that arbitrary beauty standards doesn't help the queer community?

I would like to encourage the comments of this post to be filled with examples of twinks in their 40s or older.

For some context, Redwood City is in the Bay Area and the average rent is $2,795. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think there might be some kulaks at work here doing sabotage. josus-stalin

 

If you can handle a slightly annoying british accent then you will be delighted at the utter failure of this project.

 

They built a subway station in one of the worst housing markets in America and put surface parking on top of it. Bare minimum housing around the station should look like this:

Oh no the infrastructure is in bad shape, let's close the system!

That is such a lovely metaphor. I love your posting style!

 

This is an old piece of rolling stock on the Hankyu Railway, which was inspired by American interurbans. Here's a photo of Pacific Electric, the interurban network that once covered all of the LA region:

We're talking about the fastest ways to stop bloodshed, not Russia. Do you think that ending the war is bad?

Instead, they denazified it

Hirohito remained emperor until his death and the imperial reign continues. Many war criminals were put into positions of power after the war. A couple examples include Yasuhiro Nakasone, the prime minister of Japan from 1982-87, who was directly involved in creating the "comfort women" system of sexual slavery during the war, and Nobusuke Kishi, the prime minister of Japan from 1957-1960. Here's a couple choice paragraphs from his Wikipedia page:

Known for his exploitative rule of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in Northeast China in the 1930s, Kishi was nicknamed the "Monster of the Shōwa era" (昭和の妖怪; Shōwa no yōkai).[1] Kishi later served in the wartime cabinet of Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō as Minister of Commerce and Vice Minister of Munitions,[2] and co-signed the declaration of war against the United States on December 7, 1941.

After World War II, Kishi was imprisoned for three years as a suspected Class A war criminal. However, the U.S. government did not charge, try, or convict him, and eventually released him as they considered Kishi to be the best man to lead a post-war Japan in a pro-American direction. With U.S. support, he went on to consolidate the Japanese conservative camp against perceived threats from the Japan Socialist Party in the 1950s. Kishi was instrumental in the formation of the powerful Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) through a merger of smaller conservative parties in 1955, and thus is credited with being a key player in the initiation of the "1955 System", the extended period during which the LDP was the overwhelmingly dominant political party in Japan.

Japan continues to be a far-right haven to this day. Shinzo Abe, the recently assassinated former prime minister, was a direct descendant of Kishi and denied many of the crimes against humanity Japan committed during the war. He posed in a plane with the same numbers as the infamous Unit 731, a torture camp located in occupied China that was once under the control of his great-grandfather.

This only begins to scratch the surface of the far-right in Japan directly enabled by the United States. I hope you can see what a foolish statement you have made here.

What do you mean by "don't have a home?"

What a pretentious thing to say.

The best way to defend your home is to stop the bombs from falling on it. Unless you're not talking about people's homes, families, and friends, but rather talking about some arbitrary line in the sand that people should be sent to die for.

Fears of peace talks

What kind of bullshit Orwellian headline is this? Peace is GOOD, stopping the bloodshed is GOOD. We WANT less people to die.
